FYI: Washington State Patrol out in full force tomorrow and thursday!
***For Immediate Release*** Date: October 20, 2008 Contact: Sergeant Dale Lathan Cell: 425-766-2248 WSP Motorcycle Troopers Conduct I-5 Speed Emphases Olympia – Drivers travelling I-5 on Oct. 22 and 23 will see more Washington State Patrol Motorcycle troopers out conducting speed emphasis patrols. WSP Motor units will be out in force patrolling from Vancouver the Bellingham, looking for speeders and aggressive drivers. One of WSP’s primary objectives is to reduce the number of collisions caused by speeding and aggressive driving on our state highways. An effective resource available to the Washington State Patrol is working speed enforcement in the urban areas using motorcycle troopers. “We continue to see speeding and aggressive driving as a main cause in traffic collisions in our state,” said Washington State Patrol Chief John R. Batiste. “We are using these speed emphasis patrols as a way to change driver’s behavior, we want drivers to slow down and drive safely.” WSP has 44 motorcycle troopers assigned to work throughout the state, 37 of which are assigned to work this two-day speed emphasis. Motorcycle troopers are routinely utilized to work spot enforcement throughout the state and often concentrate on identified problem areas.
For more information on what Washington State Patrol is doing about speeding and aggressive drivers.

Good info Josh!
I've never had a dream in my life because a dream is what you want to do but still haven't pursued. I knew what I wanted, and did it until it was done. So I've been the dream that I wanted to be since day one.

^^ They have special night vision goggles that lets them see through dark tint when its pitch black outside.... at least that's what they want us to think with their commercials.
Guy I know has 5% tint and he got pulled over at night for no seat belt, he got the ticket dismissed though lol.
